@Bob_Fischer We are all carry our own dysfunctional Warmington troop in our heads. Shuffle between moments of pompous Captain and exasperated sang froid of Wilson, yet the loudest of them all in minds tend always to Pike naÌøvetÌ© and the solid, quiet decency of Godfrey.

I have become half-convinced that many of those mediaeval dooms tattooing terror onto church walls move position slightly when no-one is observing them during a service or flower-arranging session. – Dr. Jaqueline Day, 1974 https://t.co/AnIFz7h2cB

@HarryVegas @Bob_Fischer Oh we all have our pompous Mainwaring moments, but also our Mainwaring moments of pluck and tenderness – we are all as complex as him in our buffoonry. We contain all of Walmington‰Ûªs finest.

Hookland Word of the Day: Anwiling – the staring at tree a long enough that faces start to appear within in and even though you know it to be a trick of the eyes, some little sense of fear runs through you. #HWOTD https://t.co/jhwhiMW9cS

What the other classes don’t get about the English working class is that don’t like authority, burn for justice and can sniff bullshit down a sewer. They also don’t get that we hold grudges and can speak the language of curse better than the muckety-mucks. – #DICallaghan

In Hookland they call rowan the ‘quickening tree’ for it is regarded as holding mystic power. The quickening derived either of its ability to stimulate magical action or make one feel a fluttering as does a mother-to-be who feels her child move within. – Dr. Thistlewood, 1856
